One Birthday. Two Unique Children.

You expect to have these perfect littles babies and, when it doesn’t happen, it’s frightening. Maxx and Maya were so tiny and fragile. I felt so helpless and afraid. When I brought them home I was even more overwhelmed. That’s when Five Counties came in. They helped me understand the individual needs of my children and showed me how to meet them.
